It was cloudy and rained for a while.

Today is the Railway Anniversary Day. 154 years ago (1872) the first railway between Shimbashi and Yokohama started. In 1994 to commemorate this historical event the Railway Anniversary Day was established. 

For the last three-day weekend, I traveled to Chiba and Tochigi by using JR All-you-can-ride pass for Autumn which has been issued to commemorate the Railway Anniversary Day.

Today I had a chance to go out during work time for some reasons. My colleague and I went to sandwich shop, badge shop, and sweets shop. Since it started raining suddenly, we went back to the office to get umbrella.

There were many things I have to deal with again. I overworked until 21:00 and came home around 22:45. I could manage to watch the NHK's night drama.

 It was cloudy.

After three days off there are many things to deal with. Some are easy, others are not and take time to think and act.

Since last Friday one colleague left the office, there was a layout change in the room. Our group was the same, but the other group moved one by one. 

Today I got some sweets at office and enjoyed them after regular working hour which is 18:30.

I overworked till 21:00 and came home around 22:45 and I was in time for the NHK's night drama.

 It is a national holiday called Sports Day. It used to be on October 10, but due to introduction of Happy Monday System, it became the second Monday of October.

It was fine.

This morning I took hot spring and had a square breakfast. While having breakfast, my friend started talking of her dead son. We felt sorry for him.

Before leaving the hotel, we enjoyed talking with owners.

We headed for Oshiraji Falls.  This was the third time for me to go there. As said "The third is a charm," I could see the beautiful blue basin and waterfalls running.

After that we went to the Mountain Station Takahara and had lunch.

Before going back, I went shopping.

I took at 15:35 train and changed at Utsunomiya. While I was heading to Totsuka, I heard the announcement saying, "There was an accident between Akabane and Ikebukuro." Therefore, I had to change the schedule and came home later than expected.

At the station I bought the commuter pass for 6 months.

It was a nice holiday.
